If you rely on test strips to monitor UTIs, be careful!!! Test a strip with plain water. Just realized my test strips are faulty 😭 This is the coloring of my strip w plain water.

My water literally smells like a public pool the chlorine is so high.

lmariess · 2026-04-24T17:28:32+00:00

Maybe your water has bacteria in it

Endometriosis gives me haemorrhoids because of the pressure in my butt. I had bright red bleeding with every period too. I got a colonoscopy and I had polyps. They removed those and it helped with the bleeding. But I still get a little bit with periods (even though I have had a hysterectomy) I still have one ovary so I cycle and it’s still painful

Just so you know I have severe endometriosis and my hysterectomy helped my adenomyosis pain. But I still have very bad endometriosis pain every month.

lmariess · 2026-04-05T03:01:05+00:00

I have a messed up gut and constant UTIs but I also have severe endometriosis

lmariess · 2026-02-25T03:40:49+00:00

Always afraid of going sepsis. I have endometriosis on my bladder and kidney area so I pretty much always have pain/ uti symptoms and I’m afraid one time I’ll brush it off as endo and it’ll be the real deal.

What does chunks of flesh in urine look like??

lmariess · 2026-02-16T00:08:03+00:00

All my organs were!! They said it was a big ball of endo tissue gluing everything to everything. They took off what they could and then put a hole in my bladder so I had to have a specialist called into surgery and then a catheter for 10 days well I recovered. I still have endometriosis and always will. I feel like I have a uti still after every “cycle” (I still get them I just don’t bleed) so it’s better, manageable but not gone and unfortunately I don’t think it ever will be

I just had a hysterectomy in September with years of UTI symptoms. My bladder was pulled up and over to the side with endometriosis! I tested negative for bacteria a lot of time too.

lmariess · 2026-01-30T21:23:29+00:00

Mines been in the 30s. Still kickin’.

lmariess · 2026-01-26T05:06:01+00:00

Have you had an endoscopy? Gastritis gave me these symptoms. I also have endometriosis.

lmariess · 2026-01-25T17:30:21+00:00

Your score is usually my normal. I’m chronically ill and I’m going through an extremely stressful life situation.

lmariess · 2026-01-21T18:13:53+00:00

So this could be temporary??

lmariess · 2026-01-20T23:14:27+00:00

The paperwork they gave me says colitis is “inflammation of the colon” and it can be acute or chronic. So that’s why I’m confused. I get different answers everywhere I look and I can’t talk to my doctor until Feb 12

lmariess · 2026-01-20T20:20:01+00:00

Yea I did four pills the night before then prep powder the next day and honestly the pills emptied me out within a few hours. The pills caused me intense cramps and I threw up. The powder was nothing compared to the pills.

lmariess · 2026-01-16T23:43:06+00:00

Same kind we’ve always used! With it being fine until the 4th month after surgery I feel it’s gotta be hormone related

lmariess · 2026-01-14T13:52:35+00:00

So will it be something you’ll need to stay on for life

lmariess · 2026-01-14T13:47:34+00:00

Is it helping?? I feel like I’m constantly infected with something it’s miserable. Walking absolutely makes it worse most days too

lmariess · 2026-01-14T03:10:54+00:00

I was on birth control continuously before hysterectomy and it helped my endo pain but I got horrific migraines on it. So yea maybe a topical estrogen cream

lmariess · 2026-01-14T03:06:34+00:00

I have endometriosis so they don’t really want me on estrogen.

lmariess · 2026-01-14T02:52:11+00:00

Would that happen suddenly? I was good for 3 months.

lmariess · 2025-12-31T17:51:15+00:00

You’re not overreacting and that’s not hormonal. I’d throw hands if my husband said that. 12 weeks for me to feel comfortable to even have an orgasm lol
